Are there more than just the few hundred middle-aged mods who were around during the heyday? Has the younger crowd latched on to this mod label? And, do labels even matter to younger people anymore? This talk will be moderated by seminal-‘80s mod magazine Wh-a-a-am! editor and writer Liz Pepin.

THE WHO MODS PLUS

The show led to the release of a live album of the same name and it was all the rage in the mod scene. Mods Mayhem was inspired by a 1979 mod concert in London called Mods Mayday.

It’s great how the love of the mod culture brought us together to this,” Strong told us. They really only knew of each other through social media they had mutual friends and Doughty noticed Strong identified as a mod.

I hadn’t heard of any mod live band shows.” Taking on all this work alone didn’t seem possible, so Doughty reached out to Jim Strong via Instagram. has mod/soul nights at a few spots around the city, but these are just DJs spinning records. “I started thinking that there has to be a place for this type of show,” Doughty explained. Doughty – a mod since his teens – had long held the idea of putting together a show with mod bands. Though there were mods here in the US during the ‘60s, the culture didn’t really hit in places like Los Angeles until the late ‘70s, then spilling into its peak in the mid ‘80s with inspiring revivalists like The Jam carving out a major presence worldwide.
